Is Clickworker Legit and Safe?
Clickworker is a legitimate site. The company has been established for many years. There are plenty of microworking sites out there that aren’t worth your time, but Clickworker is one of the better ones.
Clickworker was established over 15 years ago. With how quickly things move in the online jobs world, this means it’s been around a long time.
How Much Work is There on Clickworker?
When it comes to the amount of available work, things have really changed since my first ClickWorker review. Back then, it felt like digging around for scraps.
Nowadays there are often plenty of decent tasks involving a fair bit of variety. Importantly, there seem to be plenty of each of the tasks. (Don’t forget that these are MICROtasks – you tend to need to do lots of them, one after the other, in order to make a worthwhile amount of money).
When I last logged on to the site, there were certainly enough tasks to keep me busy – but not thousands. Clickworker never tends to have the volume of work you’d find on Amazon Mechanical Turk, as an example. However, there were also UHRS tasks available (see below for important info on that).
I should also emphasise that you could well log on and find the platform is going through a dry patch. I suspect that some of the people online who say it’s a “total waste of time” may have only looked once, and not given it a fair crack.
(Please note that the reason there are few screenshots in this section is that Clickworker’s confidentiality agreement doesn’t allow task details to be shared. Some home working sites ignore stuff like that, but we don’t!)
The Clickworker App
There’s also a Clickworker app. This has been around a while now and provides more opportunities to earn money, it’s also great for those people who prefer to work from a mobile device – something I’ll never personally understand!
The app is available for iOS and Android, and allows you to complete some of your Clickworker tasks “on the go.”
How Much can I Earn from Clickworker?
Clickworker tasks can earn you anything from a few cents each to several Euros / Dollars.
It’s very hard to predict an average hourly rate for Clickworker as it varies considerably on how much work is available, whether you qualify for it, and how quickly you can do it.
Interestingly, Clickworker used to make a prediction of an hourly rate in the region of $9 per hour, or “well over $10” with experience and concentration. When I re-checked the FAQs in September 2020, the company seemed to have removed this bold prediction and given a more realistic prediction of variable earnings.
Microworking platforms aren’t a place where you’ll earn “mega bucks.” However, if you find specific jobs you enjoy doing and there are plenty of those tasks available, you can get into earning money that represents a reasonable hourly rate. If you get into UHRS, you have even more chance of this being a realistic goal.
Based on some of the UHRS tasks I’ve worked on in the past, I quickly built up to a pace that clocked up to about US$8-11 per hour – for fairly simple work I could do with music playing in the background. There are better-paid tasks out there there, and plenty of anecdotal reports online of people making more like $15-20 per hour once they’ve hit their stride.
Your own mileage WILL vary!
Despite these broadly encouraging rates, I’d strongly advise against relying on Clickworker (or any microworking platform) for a serious full-time income. There’s no guarantee of constant work, and performing these tasks for more than a couple of hours at a time can be rather soul-destroying.
Clickworker itself makes the same point, stating in the FAQs that it “should not be considered a substitute for full-time employment or self-employment.”
However, for those willing to “make hay while the sun shines,” this is a solid way to make some solid money.
Getting Paid
Clickworker offers payment via:
Clickworker Referral Scheme
As a signed up member of Clickworker, you can refer friends to the platform. You receive a 5 Euro payout for anybody who signs up once they’ve earned 10 Euros.
While this is a good way to earn few extra bucks, you need to refer people who are going to stick with it. Your friends need to do enough work to earn some money before you will see any yourself!
Clickworker Support
It’s worth mentioning that if you do have problems, Clickworker’s email support service is fast and efficient.
Whilst testing out the service for my Clickworker reviews, I’ve queried several different things, related to assessments and technical issues, and always received prompt and helpful answers.
